Wiring normally follow a universal trend in terms of the colors that should be used when eletrical wiring is being performed. Normally White is neutral, red or black is Live, and green is ground in the USA. Please see the following website in regards to color schemes. Assuming the wiring was done correctly. http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_5/chpt_2/2.html.

If you want to identify the old wires in your house then i will recommend to try the following 1.. hire an electrician and let him see that which wires seems to be old and which are the new ones
2.. the old wires will cause the light of the bulb or the tube to flicker frequently and causes disturbance to you
3.. you can also see the plugs for maybe they are not loosse enough and you think that its because of the wiring. lets hope to have the best wiring on your house because it protects you from any unfortunate accident.

If you switch the positive and negative wires in a car stereo a couple things can happen. one: the stereo simply will not work because all of the wires are not hooked up the same way. two: if you are inserting an amplifier, switching the wires could cause the amp to short out; this can sometimes cause damage to the amp. three: most of the time if all of the wires are hooked up the same way, everything will work. so if you switch positive with negative on one speaker, you must do the same with all other connections.

To identify wires in the house here are some instructions you should have them in your mind to avoid any type of mishap as we know electricity can be very harmful if we want to play with it There are two colours of wiring used in the old house those are red and black the black wire is usaually is the live wire while red is the groung wire of house So you should have a picture of these colours of wires before touching those.

We can identify it via Analogue Multimeter put your meter on ohms, put one probe to the center post and find the wire that gives you a zero or near zero reading. That`s your hot. Place the probe on the side piece, where the bulb screws into the threads and find the wire that corresponds with that, it`s your neutral. The ground will be the only one left. center post - where the center of the bulb hits inside the socket.

You are asking that how to identify that the wiring is old?it is so hard to tell you that exactly because it depend on a lot of things, how old is your home, in which materials your wire made from, in what rating do you use your cable, if your wires made from copper and you use it 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year then it can be last to a life of 20 year. really the cables are never at maximum loading and most circuits are not operating continuously. Therefore the life span of the cable can be in excess of 30 or 40 years, if they were installed correctly, I think this is helpful to you.

To identify faulty wire,you can do some checks, first to check if Electrical outlets not working, second to check An outage from a circuit breaker tripping, third to check Several lights that blink strangely, fourth Or three-way switches having trouble, if there you face any of these problems then you have a house with a bad wiring and you must get some technicians help by an electrician.

To identify old electrical wiring, use a tester to identify the current of old wires. Also you could get a technician who can help in identifying the old wiring for you. Lastly you could check if other appliances look newer than the older wiring in the house.
